We had a fantastic stay! The wraparound porch offered amazing views of the lake, and the layout was perfect for our family. We loved having access to the dock for fishing and swimming (we loved the kayaks and paddleboard), firepit for smores and the wildlife?? Incredible! we saw Cooper's hawks, herons, bald eagles YES!  hummingbirds, and even baby deer in the mornings. The location was ideal, with easy access to state parks, Garden of the Gods, orchards, and wineries. The home was exactly as described, and communication with the host was exceptional. He is wonderful!!! We would absolutely stay here again!
